Please Let Me Go

Chapter 144 Getting out of Predicament Easily

The next day, the building of the Baron Group was surrounded by reporters who were all holding

microphones in their hands and followed by their own cameramen. Antonio's car had hardly stopped

when they surrounded it quickly.

"Mr. Antonio, did you refuse to cooperate with the Delia Group for personal reasons?"

"Mr. Antonio, I heard that your wife likes the agent of the Delia Group. You didn't agree and beat him,

did you?"

"Mr. Antonio, would you please tell me if your wife cheated on you ……”

"Mr. Antonio, there is a rumor that you have also cheated on your wife. Is that true? Could you please

respond to it?"

……

After Antonio got off the car, more reporters crowded around him. If it wasn't for the bodyguards,

Antonio might not been able to move. They were all asking questions and some words were so

vehement that he wanted to beat that person up.

"The Delia Group's cosmetics are not suitable for women's s skin in J City, so I refuse to cooperate with

foreign brands." Antonio was so solemn that the bodyguard closest to him could not help shivering.

After that, he looked at the reporters around him. They were all stunned. He was smiling and his lips

were red. He was unique and charming. People present heard his cool voice, "Others are rumors. You

must distinguish the real from the unreal yourself. However, I will definitely pursue legal liability for any

false report."

He was serious about this and reporters on the scene all knew his capacity. In an instant, everyone

nodded quickly, fearing that he would remember them for it.

After the bodyguard cleared a way out among the reporters, Antonio strode into the building with his

face darkened.

Having to deal with people from reporters to members of the board, Antonio was deeply troubled.

Those people surrounded his office so that a mosquito couldn't fly into it. He subconsciously wanted to

escape, but they would not let him go.

He was not afraid of arguing with them or solving problems, but he was annoyed that they disturbed

him with various reasons although they had no exact idea and couldn't judge him.

"Mr. Antonio!" The first person to speak was still an unknown minion.

To be honest, Antonio really didn't remember him at all. When he didn't know what he should say, his

mobile phone rang. Then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and walked to the exit

passageway naturally.

"Hi, granny!"

Hermosa called him hurriedly after seeing the news on TV. She knew how important the agency right of

the Delia Group was and Antonio had talked to herself several times about the cosmetics brand.

Something must have happened if he refused the cooperation suddenly, "Antonio, why did you refuse

the cooperation with the Delia Group?"

Antonio dropped his eyes. The way grandma asked him made him feel as if he was listening to the

shareholders. He took a deep breath, "It's ok, granny. The company can make a profit even without the

agency right of the Delia Group."

No one knew that he was keen on the agency right of Delia and had been sure to get it. These years,

the Baron Group had developed its own cosmetics brand, but it didn't develop well. Delia was a well-

known cosmetics brand in the world and had the ambition to enter the C Country's market for a long

time. Failing to find a suitable city to promote, the Delia Group chose to wait and observed the C

Country's market again and again. Every year, thousands of tourists flew to the United States to buy

their products on behalf of others.

This year the Delia Group finally decided to enter the C County's market. Fortunately, the Delia Group

chose J City. Unfortunately, Antonio did not choose this company.

"Antonio, do you know that we will gain a profit of tens of billions of dollars every year?" Hermosa had

been gentle to Antonio, but also yelled at him out of anger because of this matter.

He lowered his head and whispered back, "I know it."

"Do you know how much it will influence us in the future if the Quin Group or the Battle Group gets this

agency right?" Hermosa almost couldn't breathe smoothly.

It was women's nature to pursue beautiful appearance, which was the reason why it was easiest to

earn women's money.

What Antonio had refused was not an agency right, but a golden mine. Antonio was more unwilling to

refuse it than anyone.

"I know." he darkened his face and sighed helplessly. Now, he was hearing accusation from his

grandma. Soon, he would face the same accusation from others.

After more than half an hour, Hermosa was tired from talking and was no longer angry because of

Antonio's respectful replies. She sighed with disappointment, "Alas, I'm old. Now, you young people

have the last word, so you don't want to hear whatever I say out of impatience. Just remember to take

the Baron Group serious and don't let it close down. After all, it's the life's work of your grandfather and

many seniors."

Antonio nodded seriously again and assured Hermosa that he wouldn't make mistakes again. They

hung up after chatting for one more while.

He strode back with his head held high. Seeing him coming, people stopped whispering. He looked at

them who were either gloating, or happy, or angry.

He coughed lightly and put on the airs of the president, "Don't you have anything to do? Why do you

gather here?"

Several people were almost frightened by his rebuke and ran away. However, they suddenly

remembered what they were going to do and stood straight, "Mr. Antonio, would you please explain

about the reporters downstairs?"

"Right. We are businessmen, not stars. How can we let reporters block our door every day?"

……

When one came out to speak first, the others would become bold. Therefore, they all raised their heads

and talked about their problems.

"Shut up." Antonio broke out at last. After he shouted loudly, they, who were still afraid of his usual

power and solemnity, lowered their heads quietly and stopped speaking. Antonio looked at them with

cold eyes, "You are all senior executives of our company who have high status. What are you doing?

Are you abusing someone here or bargaining in the market? Those who take the lead just now will be

fined 5000 dollars, and the others will be fined 3000 dollars. I would like to see the financial report

before I get off work. Anyone who hasn't paid will leave the Baron Group."

What he said should have caused a great stir. But strangely, no one dared to refute Antonio's words

and they all kept their heads down in silence.

They lowered their heads when they gave each other glances and pulled each other's sleeves. They all

want other people to argue with Antonio, but no one wanted to do it himself or herself. They stared at

each other as if they were saying, "Why don't you do it?"

Antonio looked at them contemptuously again. Seeing that no one dare to be the first to speak, he felt

angry but also found it funny. Everyone wanted to hit him when he was down a little, which they

wouldn't stop until they saw him losing temper and were fined. They didn't want to miss the opportunity

to taunt him but were afraid of being used. After all, they all brooded for their own petty profits. Antonio

couldn't help but looked down upon them for their being selfish and ambitious at the same time. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Any other questions?"

They stood here like a group of stone Buddha statues. The longer Antonio looked at them, the angrier

he became. Therefore, his low voice made everyone tremble.

"No, no." Shaking their heads tacitly, they all ran away with their backs bent.

Just now, they were asking Antonio for explanation, but now, they disappeared quickly.
